Chasing Lucifer

A smart-mouthed, ass-kicking female private eye, "Shanny" Shanahan, goes head-to-head with a wiley al-Qaeda terrorist, Qusay. Initially pursuing clues to a seemingly unrelated murder in Washington, D.C., Shanny stumbles upon a terrorist plot targeting the Pentagon on 9/11. Losing her eyesight in an ambush, but not her will, Shanny races the clock on that fateful day to prevent a national tragedy from becoming even worse - a portable nuclear bomb aboard that fateful flight..
